Are you scared to squeeze your bum at the top of your reps because you feel it looks 'ugly'?

If your bum looks 'ugly' when you are squeezing at the top of your squat /bridge / pull through etc.. GOOD!!

A good butt squeeze is an ugly butt squeeze πŸ‘

I always say to clients & in b***y blast, we want that ugly bum squeeze.

It doesn't matter how lovely your bum may be, when you squish it, you're going to get dimples & some cellulite showing, that's completely normal!

Contracting / squeezing your glutes in a glute exercise is the main part of the exercise, skipping this makes what you're doing pointless..

Please dont waste your time because you are worried your bum may look 'ugly' to others ❌

Trust me, its gotta look ugly to look cute okuurr✌

ARE YOU USING TOO MUCH WEIGHT 🧐

Are you focusing on numbers, choosing quantity over quality and using too much weight in training to the point were you literally can't move muscles for nearly a week..

The discussion I had with a new client today made me realise just how easy it is to get confused when weight training with how far you should push yourself. On one hand you're told to really push yourself but on the other you're also told not to push too far.. confusing right?!

So I thought I'd explain...

The increase in weight during your sessions should be progressive i.e. 'Progressive overload'

Please don't get this confused with putting so much weight on each week so that:

1. Your form / technique is compromised

2. You're using assisting muscles instead of the ones you should be engaging e.g. using hamstring instead of glutes for heavy hip thrusts

3. You're range of movement is compromised (e.g. not getting full depth on a squat)

4. You legit can't move that body part for the forseeable

If your goal is muscle growth and you have a rep range for 10-12 (hypertrophy) find a weight you can do this amount of reps on but still challenges you, the last few reps should be really challenging BUT your form should never be compromised.

Weights should be increased gradually each week if possible even by 2.5kg, the difference this can make to your lift is crazy.

Please look after your body guys ✌

"DO I REALLY HAVE TO SHOW YOU MY PHOTOS, I LOOK AWFUL"

If there is one thing I hear from new clients its the above comment.

These are my starting photos for a programme im currently doing (3 weeks in)

Was I happy with them? No

Did I think I looked like that when I looked in the mirror? No

Does this bother me? NO

Let's get this straight.. the whole point in progress photos is to see the progress you make for starting some kind of fitness journey (whatever that may be). This means whatever you look like or feel you look like in these photos is pretty much irrelevant because you are actively changing it.

The start of a fitness journey should be the end of were you feel any kind of negative way about yourself. You dont get to criticise yourself if you are doing everything in your power to change that thing.

Me sitting and criticising the way my legs and bum look in these photos, when the programme im doing is to change them seems ridiculous to me.

Instead, you should see these photos and this point as a positive. This is the point were I change this, this is where I begin to gain confidence, this is what I can look back on in X amount of weeks / months and realise my strength gains, both physically and mentally.

Please celebrate your progress photos, even right at the very start. These are the most detrimental photos, the ones that will get you to fully appreciate where you end up πŸ’•

A lot of people ask about what personal trainers provide in terms of 'measurable' or 'tangible' services & results but what a lot of people fail to realise is that personal trainers offer a lot more than just the above things.

The things that clients receive that aren't measureable are often the most valuable. Yes you can measure how much weight you have lost but you cannot measure how much confidence you have gained. These are the things that you should be looking for when receiving training.

I want some exercises to get rid of my 'bingo wings'

Ok so I've heard this a lot and I can't express this enough... there is no specific weighted exercise that will get rid of fat under your arms, or anywhere else for that matter.

You can build up the muscle underneath the fat which is what weight training will do and yes, building more muscle will help you burn more calories (more muscle = more energy required = more calories burnt throughout the day)

BUT

1. Building muscle will not make the fat you currently have just disappear

2. You cannot target / pick where you lose fat from

My answer to 'I want some exercises to get rid of my bingo wings' is..

1. Calorie deficit

2. Incorporating a mixture of cardio & weight training into your exercise programme

Why? Because the only way to lose fat is to be in a caloric deficit, if you're not burning more calories in a day than you are consuming you're not going to lose weight, NONE, NADA ❌

Incorpotating cardio will help with your calorie deficit & weight training will help to build muscle, creating that shape for when you do lose fat and again, help you to burn more calories in the day by increasing muscle mass.

By weight training I mean full body weight training also, not just those tricep and bicep exercises peeps πŸ’ͺ

Also where did the term bingo wings even come from?! What does it actually mean 🧐
